Hi @Shawn SmithI am a US loan officer in Toronto, assisting Canadians to secure financing in the US.

If I could attach it here, I would but I will DM you the file so you can take a look.As far as an agent, if you would like assistance while you're here, feel free to reach out.

If a warranty deed has been filed or even a memorandum of sale or a lis pendens, it makes getting clear title virtually impossible without the co-operation of the one who filed or having assistance from an attorney and maybe a long, costly, lawsuit. 

We started looking at coaching programs and some of these things just seem ridiculous at 20-40 grand, and some seem more like life coaching programs as opposed to real estate programs. we don't want to syndicate we really would just like to find someone that we can bounce deals / ideas off of and have them assist in underwriting and giving us a better sense of security that we are doing the right thing.

Check out the Note Assistance Program.

I’m also considering advising my tenant to look into Section 8 assistance, as it could help support their financial situation while allowing me to adjust the rent closer to market levels.

@Kevin Collins you are asking for advice and I am taking time out of my day to actually give you a different view point in an attempt to help and assist you but you are upset it doesn't quite conform and confirm your thoughts in the way you expected. 

If you need assistance in flipping a property, or really any job an inexperienced person can do, I am very interested for any exposure I can get to real-estate investing.

So for me, my model is to buy a discounted property, spend less on the rehab when I can, get it refinanced to get as much of my money out as possible, get a little bit higher than average rent, pass the repairs of all minor things onto the tenant buyer, help the tenant buyer qualify for a loan, contract to sell the property at around 10% higher than current market value within a 3 year period of time, pay very little in transaction costs, and then 1031 the gain into a new property or properties that I find from wholsalers that are priced below market value and just trade up and keep repeating the process.The cash flow helps offset vacancy and also pays my assistants to help manage my businesses.

Good question to ask when screening a PM is if they are real estate investors themselves.If you want a PM to be proactive or knowledgeable on where/when to add value (asset management assistance), find one that is an investor.
